She still hasn't been able to go on the CPAP but this has worked out quite well. She needed a couple procedures today that require her being intubated. 1. The Broviac is going to be taken out. It would not allow blood draws so she had to get poked all the time for labs. Very sad. Poor baby. A line was placed in her arm, sucessfully!, so now she doesn't have to get poked. It seems it wasn't possible/safe to do sooner. 2. She needs a small procedure to remove fluid that got stuck in a pocket on the top of the right lung.
Being reintubated would have been quite miserable for her so we're totally okay with the fact she's not on CPAP today. We'll be able to hold her when the time is right.
The team is still working on a diagnosis. A CT scan shows sign of some lung disease but it's going to require other tests to find out what it is.
